I did the same out of genuine curiosity but I really wish they'd ban memes and stupid strawman text graphics. Constantly mocking an imaginary stereotypical liberal with memes doesn't make them seem very mature or up for discourse.

/r/politics may be an echo chamber but at least it only allows actual articles so there's at least something substantive to react to.

/r/politics being 100% external linked stories at least gives it some grounding. I'll skip past any posts even under 'Hot' if they are from ThinkProgress, HuffPo, Salon, and a few other hyper-clickbait websites. I read comments threads for most of the news I check otherwise (NYT, WaPo, CNN, The Hill)
